I really like Meteor too. It makes developing a sophisticated app incredibly easy. Even though it is only in preview mode, it is extremely polished. I can't wait to see what version 1.0 has in store!
Once you understand iron-router, which takes an hour or two of going through the documentation and trying examples, it really does everything you could ask a router to do. I think its worth a shot of trying it.
The app I've been developing may help you with your procrastination, and light that fire that you need.
It merges two ideas. One is that you need to get things done on your to-do list. This is incredibly hard for us procrastinators. So, similar to a personal trainer you would have at the gym to help you exercise, I created a virtual personal trainer to help you work on your to-do list. He prompts you with what you need to do, and then you do it.
The second idea is that you need to feed your craving for interesting and inspiring web content. To help with this craving, the virtual personal trainer allows you to see productive and beneficial web content as a sort of break from your current work session. You get to gain knowledge while procrastinating. I call the idea "to procrastigain".
You can check out the demo at http://procrastigain.com/. Let me know if it is useful to you at all, or if you can think of anything that would make it better for you.
Thanks much for the plugin suggestion. It looks promising. My app is geared toward 18-25 year old users, so I think I may go the interactive messaging route and then create a written F.A.Q.
Another option for doing interactive tours is Hopscotch.[1] It serves pretty much the same purpose as Intro.js, and seems to be very popular as well. I haven't used Intro.js myself, but I'm currently building out intro tour using Hopscotch and it works quite well so far.
